A Honey Party

a bee game we have had for years

After the honey tasting, we spent the rest of the evening playing games and eating dinner. What was really lovely about this party was that it was fun and special, but didn't take extraordinary time or money to create. I did everything the day of the party and only bought food, flowers and the cake mold, everything else I already had.

Our Menu for the Evening

Honeyed Pork Tenderloin

Roasted Potatoes

Peas

Rolls with Bee Butter

Beehive Cake with Honey Glaze

Milk and Honey

Bee Butter is honey mixed with butter and it is delicious!

The birthday cake was a honey cake baked in a beehive mold. Bryce made the bees out of fondant. Aren't they darling?

Grace made darling pipe cleaner bees and hung them from the chandelier. She even made one for my hair and Harris made one that found its way to my shoulder, it must have like all the flowers. I found the sunflowers at the grocery store for $6! For the place settings, I dug out some scrapbook supplies that I already had.

Grace sent her Grandma home with a little favor bag full of candy, Burt's Bees cough drops and a pot of our lip balm (made with beeswax!).
